Re: New Car

That looks awesome, no a fan of aliminum wings, but that one really seems to fit the bill.

Not all eclipses were turbo. it could be a n/a fwd auto, hopefully not, but could be.

Re: New Car

that's funny... you said you got it for gas mileage... and then said you were gonna try to put a turbo on it.... although it would still get better gas mileage than a v8 (or maybe even v6) the turbo would kill your mpg.... looks pretty nice just the same.

Re: New Car

A wing actually makes a fwd car lose traction, the rear wing pushes down on the back of the car, thus making the front end lighter and thus causing the car to lose traction.

wrong...

a wing on the rear of the car can be adjusted to remove weight from the rear of the car, thus balancing the weight to advance a greater percentage on the front wheels... Also, it can create a whole new "wind tunnel" effect on the car, which could result in more downforce on the front of the car, again putting more weight on the traction wheels... BUT, im pretty sure 150mph corners are not this cars main objective... and if its breaking loose at that speed, i can just imagine how shitty the traction must be stoplight to stoplight...


thanks for your input tho sucky300... keep reading your motortrend mag, you may come up with more useless stuff to post in threads...
